Making A Screenshot Video .......

[Gizmonster]

I know I can take a screenshot by pressing the "prt sc" button, then pasting the image to somewhere like "paint", but how do I go about making a video screenshot of my screen??

I'm sure it's possible, as I've seen video tutorials of how to complete certain levels on video games etc .... and I'm fairly sure that they weren't done using a video camera, etc.

Any ideas please .... I'm using Win 10 by the way :)

theres others, Camtasia for instance

I would NOT recommend camtasia - I was seeking to do exactly this, downloaded camtasia, which downloaded all sorts and banjaxed the laptop.
VTC opensource claims to do this, but I've never had success with it.

Here's a whole load of recommendations, but I've not used them so don't know how effective they are.

Well Mosaic you cant know what you are doing.
Ive been using Camtasia for years on every PC, and Laptoip i have had and its never caused any problems...

I love how so many people blame software for problems and how often the fault is the state of the machine theyre using thats actually the root of most problems..

Thanks for all the replies - much appreciated.

I'll check "CamStudio" out and "Camtasia", when I get the urge/need to take a video screenshot.

That's Ok Bazzer - as an older woman working in IT as a freelancer I'm used to your kind of put downs. Camtasia is not the company it started out as and the free versions available to new joiners are not what was offfered years ago.
I used it on other systems years ago - its 'offer'r to new joiners is vastly different now.
Do you move on, or having done something once believe it is ever thus?

[bazwillrun]

Who mentioned anything about the free version...oh you did !
Camtasia is a superb piece of software and probably the best at what it does..still dont let that stop you giving out poor/bad advice

IT freelancers...ten a penny, id be a lot poorer if it wasnt for sorting out IT problems caused by so called IT freelancers...

Cheers Baz, the usual. I never expect imagination or tact from older male IT 'experts'.

I recommend you this powerful Audio Recorder which can record any voice of computer and microphone. Also, you can capture desktop activities, create video tutorials, presentations and record game process with ease. And the recorded file is very good. You can try it for free, just download the free trial version. http://www.icoolsoft.com/guides/how-to-record-streaming-auido.html
